Finland is referred to the country which is conducting the most advanced education in the world with the excellent education policy and the outstanding education system. Historical background and geographical environment of between Finland and Korea is similar in many ways, since the lack of resources, Finland has focused on the fostering the human resources for the growth of the country like Korea. However, because of the recent PISA in 2012 indicated a sharp declined result than before, pointed out the lack of computer related education and national level implementation strategies for a software education of neighboring countries, the discussion on software education in Finland is increased. Thus, the coming 2016 year become a significant year to bring up the opportunity for national growth through software education, Finland government prepared the software education curriculum as a national common required curriculum which will be implemented from elementary school. In this study, we will look through the background of Finland's software education and curriculum, we are going to suggest which might be helpful to set the direction of software education curriculum.

Recently, there have been a number of voices from industry that control education at the university is too theoretical and so university graduates are lack of practical ability to apply the control idea to actual systems. In order to reflect these voices, this paper investigates a few examples of successful control education in Asian countries, and presents a modern curriculum of control education, and an effective methodology of control education. For effective control education, we need design and simulation practices of control system using computer software packages, and hands-on experiments using physical hardware plants. The experimental setups should be rugged and reliable to prevent from the breakdown by the students who are non-experts in dealing with hardwares and softwares.

The knowledge-based society of the 21st century requires effective education and learning methods in each professional field because the development of human resource determines its competence more than any other factors. It is highly desirable to develop an intelligent tutoring system, which meets ever increasing demands of education and learning. Such a system should be adaptive to each individual learner's demands as well as the continuously changing state of the learning process, thus enabling the effective education. The development of a learning environment based on learner modeling is necessary in order to be adaptive to individual learning variants. An intelligent learning environment is being developed targeting the heritage education, which is able to provide a customized and refined learning guide by storing the content of interactions between the system and the learner, analyzing the correlations in learning situations, and inferring the learning preference from the learner's learning history. This paper proposes a heritage learning system of Bulguksa temple, integrating the ontology-based learner modeling and the learning preference which considers perception styles, input and processing methods, and understanding process of information.

In this paper by realizing the knowledge base on the web, for example, the information of the technology and human resources of the universities, which is the mecca of the knowledge management, technology information in various segment, education information, visible anti invisible knowledge information like technical advice, etc, and scholaristic knowledge like basic science technologies, economic theories which are verified by experts of the field, and pragmatic knowledge like technical patent, software, data base, also, hands on experience and knowledge like field technology, customer service, front line management. All those related information provides easy access to anyone who need of. This system is also designed for the utilization of the study, company activities, and professionals of the basic science technology which enables not only professor to exchange the research results but also, general public, companies, students can effectively share and exchange the information.

Useful applications for English education enable immediate conversion of mobile devices into remote wireless systems for classroom computers. Once the free software has been installed in the main computers in the classroom, using powerpoint, students can operate the computers through their mobile devices by installing Air mouse on them. By using this, the students can draw or write on the "board" to manipulate the educational resources from where they are/from their seats. The study of English language encompasses not only academic study but also language training. Until recently, the issue of the English language learning has been ridden with certain problems-instead of being a tool that facilitates communication, its main purpose has been for school grades, TOEIC, and TOEFL. This study suggests English language learning methodology using various applications such as mobile, VOD English language content, and movie scripts in implementing easy and fun English language learning activities that can be studied regularly. This is operationalized by setting a specific limit on learning and by using various media such as podcast, Apps, to increase interest, motivation, and self-directed learning in a passive learning environment.

This study attempts to investigate the IT utilization and e-business level of the small and medium companies in order to facilitate their e-commerce efforts. Results show that they have basic IT infrastructures such as internet and PC, but they use their IT resources mainly for office automations. Major problems with such low level of IT utilization are in their lack of manpower, skill, and fund. Considering above issues, web hosting service is believed as a good measure to alleviate their problems. Hence, this paper suggests that utilization of the web-based ASP can be a viable solution for the currently revealed issues. Also, development of creative IT application(business) cases and their advertizement can lead small and medium finns to more productive IT investments, which requires more diverse IT performance measurements such as BSC(balanced scorecard), other than traditional ROI.

The purpose of this study was to investigate consumers' perceptions on monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) in social media. Data were collected from Naver blogs and Naver web communities (Korean representative portal web-site), and media reports including comment sections on a Yonhap news website (Korean largest news agency). The results from Naver blogs and Naver web communities showed that it was primarily mentioned MSG-use restaurant reviews, 'MSG-no added' products, its safety, and methods of reducing MSG in food. When TV shows on current affairs, newspaper, or TV news reported uses and side effects of MSG, search volume for MSG has increased in both PC and mobile search engines. Search volume has increased especially when TV shows on current affairs reported it. There are more periods with increased search volume for Mobile than PC. Also, it was mainly commented about safety of MSG, criticism of low-quality foods, abuse of MSG, and distrust of government below the news on the Yonhap news site. The label of MSG-no added products in market emphasized "MSG-free" even though it is allocated as an acceptable daily intake (ADI) not-specified by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). When consumers search for MSG (monosodium L-glutamate) or purchase food on market, they might perceive that 'MSG-no added' products are better. Competent authorities, offices of education and local government provide guidelines based on no added MSG principle and these policies might affect consumers' perceptions. TV program or news program could be a powerful and effective consumer communication channel about MSG through Mobile rather than PC. Therefore media including TV should report item on monosodium L-glutamate with responsibility and information based on scientific background for consumers to get reliable information.
